Hello, last month I had a miscarriage. I was not far along, only about 5 weeks. I had sex for the first time since the miscarriage with my husband about a week ago and ever since my labia has been very itchy. Should I be concerned and go to an OBGYN?

I’ve skipped 2 periods and have felt bloated for about a month. I haven’t missed a period in probably like 10 years. I am definitely not pregnant as I haven’t been sexually active in over a year. I am 38 years old, take Yaz for birth control, Lamictal for seizures, Singulair and Claritin for allergies, and sinus medications as needed. I had HPV and the Leep procedure about 2 and a half years ago, and I froze my eggs in April 2021. I’ve also noticed a reduction in discharge. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I’ve been having lower abdomen cramps on and off for about a week, unrelated to my period. The cramps have been constant for the past two days, starting as soon as I wake up and lasting all day. I’m not bleeding or spotting, and my period is regular. What could be causing these cramps, and should I get them checked?
